detective from the East on the ground
that he is wanted for murder somewhere

Near the sea the shifting OF sand by
the winds is a familiar sight, and the
drifts arc often known to encroach on
cultivated fields, forests and villages.
Striking examples are found on Lake
Michigan, where the withered tops of O
forest are visible above u sand drift, and
IN Norfolk, England, where farms and
houses have been covered. The same
phenomenon occurs in deserts, the great
sand hills being not only carried about
by the wind, but even forced beyond the
proper limits of the sandy wastes. The
extensive Registrar desert, in central
Afghanistan, is reported as being steadily
pushed ENTHUSIASTICALLY, and calculations
have shown that its present rate of pro
gress will cause it to overwhelm some of
the most fertile and prosperous districts
OF the country in a few thousand years

set out for four persons, and there were
exquisite flowers arranged in vases of
Worcester and Coalport porcelain, sent
by Messrs. osler, who also provided some
wonderful cut glass finger bowls Of n sur

odd that the queen of England and EN-

BALLAD OF TIE DREAMER

Swift as sound OF music FED
When no more the organ sighs-
Sped as ell old Joys Gre sped,
SO your lips, love, and your eyea.
So your gentle voice replies,
Mine, one hour, In sleep that seem.
Fit away ns slumber flies,
Following darkness like q dream.
As the scent from roses red,
As the dawn from April skies.
As the phantom of the dead,
From the living love that HES,
As the shifting shade thai lies
On the moonlight silver stream,
30 you rise, when dreams arise,
Following darkness like q dream.
Gould some witch with woven tread,
Could some spell In fairy. wise,
Lap about this dreaming head
In a mist of memories,
should lie like him tina lLes
Where the lights on Patmos CLEAN.
Meath Sci, ne down the skies
Following darkness like q dream.

Sleep, that Grants what life denies,
Shadowy bounties and supreme.
Bring me ack her face, that flies,
Following darkness like q dream.

Pensions.

According to the estimate of Edward
Atkinson that the average production
of each man, woman and child in the
United States is the equivalent Of 500
per annum on an average, it requires
the labor of nearly 100000 to pay our
annual pensions. That is a large army
to be employed twenty-five years after
the war closed to pay for the wear and
tear of the army that fought the battles
of four years. Of course, no other
country in the world begins to do any
thing ike this for its soldiers. 1t takes
nearly $50, 0O0, 900 to pay the pensions
this year, which is more than theatotal
expenditures of the general government
before the war.-BoSton Herald

The champion liar halls from Pike
county, Ind, and the following yarn is
probably the greatest effort of his life :
"a young lady who was watching my
binding harvester at work fell upon the
table and was carried up with the grain.
AS the girl was about the size of Z
bundle, the machine did not recognize
the difference, and so she came through
with little string around her waist.
One of the harvest hands caught her as
the machine kicked her out and set
her on tue ground right side up, when
it was found that she had been more
frightened than hurt" Now, il this
veracious agriculturalist had only add
ed that the machine had threShed the
young woman and shook from her face
the flour without which no self respect
ing woman's toilet is complete, and
barreled said -four for market by aid of |
the said young woman's hoops, HISTORY
would possess a completeness and SYM
metry which would cause it to pass cur
rent anywhere as great and irreproach-
able work of art.

IAN Iowa man says we are to have
good crops next season because we have
had such drouth. In dry seasons the
earthly salts are brought from far below,
deposited at the surface so that the
ground the next year is fertilized ready
for use. If the succeeding year be at
all favorable the seed gets an early star;
from the fact that the nutriment is
ready at hand, and therefore the yield
is abundant. This is a very pleasant
theory. Now, we will wait and see
whether the result corresponds to it.
